I Don’t Think the Hard Stuff Will Be Coming Down for a While

I Don’t Think the Hard Stuff Will Be Coming Down for a While

3 men (yeah, men) laughed in the face of #NotJoaquin and posted at F3Ascent to see what lie ahead in the rainy gloom.  With adaptability that’d make MacGuyver proud, they got to it and moved some serious metal.

Backblast Disclaimer – the above may or may not have actually occurred, as there was no #weinke, i.e. 100% audible, and YHC’s memory isn’t that great during or after a workout.  #Cobains for any errors or omissions.  If you were there, you know and likely still feel what we did.

YHC had originally planned an LSD run this morning, #RainRunner, but we quickly audibled out of that once we saw just how substantial the rain really was.  So, now, what to do?  Go to the #plasticficus with the M?  Sit on the couch and watch cartoons?  No and No!!  Hmm…could go swing some KBs under the awning at Olde Providence Elem, but would that be awkward if Pele was running the Ascent pax around on the fields in the rain?  What if there was no Ascent pax – would Pele join YHC for some KB action?  Let’s give it a shot!

At 7:00, just as YHC & Pele had determined it’d just be us two and we were heading to the awnings on the rear of the school, two became three when 777 pulled into the parking lot.  YHC informed him of our audible, we assembled under the rear awning and commenced to unload some bells.  The workout was completely made up on the fly, so YHC relied heavily on personal favorites.  As you know, that means one-handed swings and TGU’s (aka Simple & Sinister).  Again, #cobains.  But, I think a solid, overall workout was had by all.  At least YHC feels like it was.

Pele is becoming an old hand with KBs and really focused on TGU form today with the shoe drill.  Keep after it, brother!  Triple 7 also made a strong showing with his first KB workout.  Welcome to the #meathead club!

Guys, thanks for the opportunity for a fun, impromptu lead.  Always an honor.

Aye.
